<p>Watch out, Juve is at stake at the World Cup: Comolli weighs on everyone on the market, whoever makes a mistake can say goodbye</p>

The Club World Cup will close Juventus ' long and troubled season, which began with the Giuntoli-Motta project and is about to end with Comolli in management and Tudor on the bench. Two important changes, but they may not be the only ones during the summer. In fact, there are several players who have disappointed or who could leave the Bianconeri club for budget reasons. The new Fifa competition will therefore be the last chance to demonstrate that he can remain in Bianconeri. The only certainty, at the moment, is that Juventus and Igor Tudor will continue together. For the Croatian coach, an agreement of 2.5 million euros net per season and the removal of the release clause in favor of Juventus that was included in the first contract signed in March when he was called to replace Thiago Motta.

A further signal that indicates the path now traced to relaunch the Old Lady after a season as a supporting actor. In the meantime, while Tudor, staff and players are still working on the Continassa fields in view of the imminent start of the Club World Cup, the coach is in constant contact with the market men. While waiting for the role of sporting director of the Bianconeri to be clarified, the list of what will be the requests to make up for the difficulties experienced during the last season is being drawn up.

The first on the list is in defense and has just returned from a loan at Ajax , with whom he accumulated 26 appearances and one goal between the Eredivisie and Europa League . A season that could have ended with the title of Dutch champion, which slipped away after an incredible comeback suffered by PSV in the last few days.

Now Rugani , who was excluded by Thiago Motta, can play his cards at the Club World Cup to convince Igor Tudor to focus on him for next season too. The former Empoli player has already had experience in a three-man defense with Allegri and could prove useful in the rotations. His contract with Juve expires in 2026, so a definitive decision will have to be made to avoid losing him for free.

Arrived in January to make up for the injury emergency in defense, he has never managed to convince. The operation to snatch him from Newcastle for around 20 million euros in fact seemed expensive right from the start and the performances on the pitch have not changed the perception, with some important errors that cost precious points such as the marking on Pellegrino in Parma-Juve and the lack of tranquility transmitted to the defensive department.

The general feeling is that he has never been able to fully adapt to the rhythms and needs of the team, often remaining in difficulty in individual duels and in reading game situations. A farewell is possible already in the summer, a return to the Premier League even while the Club World Cup is being played. Anything can happen.

Arrived in the January market from Vitoria Guimaraes for almost 14 million euros, he was practically never used by Thiago Motta. Things changed at the end of the season when, thanks to the emergency in defense, Tudor decided to give him space. The 2003-born player repaid the trust with good performances, demonstrating that he can cover the role of full-back and also finding a splendid goal, later disallowed, against Venezia .

The Club World Cup will be another important test to convince the Bianconeri to continue to focus on him, we will see in what role without any more emergencies.

Just like Rugani, he has returned from a loan. The Serbian was unable to convince José Mourinho's Fenerbahce to buy him out despite a season with 35 appearances, two goals and nine assists. However, with Tudor , interesting prospects could open up for him too, thanks to the change in formation with the return of the full-backs.

It remains to be seen whether he can prove himself to be up to the task, his last season with Juve was disappointing. It is unlikely he will start at the Club World Cup , but he will have to be good at playing his chances.

Probably the biggest disappointment of Juve 's season. Arrived in the summer from Aston Villa as one of the big hits of the Juventus market, he has never managed to establish himself either with Motta or with Tudor. For him many physical problems from the beginning and an adaptation that continues to be difficult.

It remains to be seen whether a return to the Premier League could materialize in the summer, given that Juventus paid 50 million euros for him just a year ago. In this sense, the Club World Cup could represent an important showcase.

The other big flop of the Juventus market. Pursued for an entire summer, it was supposed to be the move to turn the midfield around. The reality, however, was very different, with 4 goals and 3 assists in 40 appearances. The poor physical condition, due to a preparation spent on the fringes of Atalanta, certainly had an impact and for this reason specific work was done at the end of the season. The first answers are expected at the Club World Cup to understand how central the Dutchman can be in the project led by Comolli.

The Montenegrin talent is undoubtedly the one on which all eyes are focused in this competition. The 2006-born player, after the injuries at the beginning of the season, has done a few months of apprenticeship with the Next Gen where he has shown flashes of quality with valuable goals and assists for the team coached by Brambilla.

He made his debut for Montenegro with a goal, just a few days ago before returning to Continassa and resuming training with Juve , a sign of a predestined player who now wants to take his future. An important business card with the pass for the Club World Cup and the desire to show off to convince Tudor to give him more than one chance for next season. Surely the club will want to avoid losing another talent along the way...

In recent weeks he has managed to reverse the story of his future. From a possible departure to confirmed for the Club World Cup . Juve has asked, and obtained, the OK from Porto to extend the loan of the Portuguese winger also for the competition in the United States.

In the meantime, he enchanted with the Portugal jersey with a wonderful goal, left-footed, against Germany and then, a few days later, he celebrated together with Ronaldo the victory of the Nations League in the final with Spain. Juventus has extended his loan with the hope of being able to sit down at the table with Porto and then get a new agreement... because the redemption is set at 30 million euros for the Bianconeri.

He is the one about which there are more doubts than certainties for the future, but it is clear that in the event of good performances at the Club World Cup, Juve could change the perception and therefore confirm him for next season. Tudor has used him in two ways in his module: full-back, often with an inverted foot, and finally also as a second striker.

The Argentine ex Fiorentina's season has not gone well, something more was certainly expected from him, especially in terms of goals and incisiveness, also considering the investment made by Giuntoli last summer. His qualities are not in question and at Juve he also suffered a significant stop at a muscular level. Now there is the most important competition to hold on to the black and white shirt.

His future is the most indecipherable at the moment. In the last few days there have been rumours of interest from Italy ( Milan ) to abroad ( Fenerbahce, Atletico Madrid and Newcastle ), but in any case the priority now is to talk to Juve . Comolli underlined this in the press conference: "He is a top player and we want to talk to him to understand his intentions" .

A meeting is possible before leaving for the United States, where Dusan was included in the list by Tudor , to try to find a point of agreement and move forward together on this path. The problems, some of which are on the pitch, are mainly about the salary and those 12 million euros net that weigh heavily on the Juventus budget.

Juve worked hard to confirm the striker for the Club World Cup and beyond. The Frenchman is now off PSG 's radar, Luis Enrique does not appreciate his characteristics for his game, for this reason it was not complicated for the Juventus management to get the ok to extend the loan.

But the will is to include a buyout (to be understood if right or obligation) in view of next summer to try to take him outright in a year. He certainly wants to stay in black and white.

The 2004 class has been one of the surprises of this season for Juventus . With Thiago Motta he started off strong with a goal on his debut against Como. In a complicated year for the team, he still made 32 appearances and scored 4 goals, 3 in Serie A and 1 in the Champions League.

Interesting numbers that have turned the market spotlight on the Belgian. Many scouts, especially abroad, have followed him, such as those from Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest . The evaluations from Continassa have set the price at 20 million euros , but in the meantime there is a Club World Cup to try to confirm him in the black and white jersey.

A big question mark for many reasons. The Polish striker has been sidelined for the entire season due to a knee injury. The double operation also extended his recovery time, which did not allow Motta or Tudor to have him available.

Zero minutes this season, but now he has had the time he needs to train, recover and be at the camp with a great desire to show that he can be a good backup to the starting strikers, especially for the three competitions in view of next year. However, it remains to be seen what the club's ideas will be and from now until the end of August the market is very long to understand the movements between incomings and outgoings. In the meantime, the Club World Cup is an important showcase for him.
